New Website in the New Year
|
|
|
The Consortium has rebuilt and relaunched its website. We are excited about the new features and resources we plan for the new site, features that will allow us to more effectively foster and support a community of people and institutions who value perspectives from the humanities on science, technology and medicine.
The Consortium website supports our fellowship programs, working groups, unified collections search hub, and other resources for research, teaching and learning in the history of science, technology and medicine. Logging in to the new site will require resetting your password once. Please contact in...@chstm.org about any problems or issues you encounter with the new website.
Thank you for being part of our community — online or in person, and thank you for your patience as we iron out any wrinkles with the new site.
With best wishes for a happy and productive new year,
Babak Ashrafi, Executive Director

The Consortium's working groups are held online and are open to all interested scholars. Each working group convenes monthly for discussions of works-in-progress or important published texts on a wide variety of specialized subfields in history of science, technology and medicine. Join one or more groups, and participate in the conversation.
You can also submit a paper for discussion in one of the working groups.
All times listed below are EST (UTC-5:00). Log in at www.chstm.org, and set your time zone for the correct local time for each meeting.
